Little sneak peek at what my idea is for lunar need to figure out what I'm missing as it feels not done yet but idk what it is yet :p

Buttttt lunar is a axolotl and vampire squid as moon type mers have the pattern of being part squid or octopus and I'd love to see what yalls guess will be as to who moon will be!

Heads up this may not be the final design and I'd love some feed back on what to add!

LITTLE SHARKIES AU!

YES ANOTHER AU FOR THE COUNT-

In this AU, Sun and Moon are two sharks, Moon being a White Shark and Sun being a Oceanic Whitetip Shark!

They are just around, playing all day and having fun!

There are many benefits to being a marine biologist

(This is the Mer AU, featuring Jackie as a lionfish and Heather as a marine biologist ^_^)

I love making aus of my own OCs and posting about them like you have no idea who this guy is but here’s how he would look if he were a fish

[swirly-lemonade]

I almost burnt my fries for this wip- and it’s just a sketch- THE SKETCH ISNT EVEN DONE-

Mer/Undersea AU

I read a book about fish and now I have a bunch of ideas for merMay characters.

Eel

•electric shocking ability

•very long, dark green tail, maybe some speckled patterns if you want. The fins would be short, maybe the width of four fingers, and stretch all the way from where knee length might be in an eel tail all the way down to the end of the tail, on both front and back

Axolotl

•perpetually cute

•six gills are outside body in the same fashion as regular axolotls, where the ears would be

•pink or blue medium-sized tail with huge fin that goes all the way down the length of it, just Google axolotl tail

•yes I know axolots have legs, but still just traditional mer stuff

Mantis shrimp

•very powerful punches

•can see many more colors than other beings, also has blank pink eyes with small pupils

•for the tail, think centaur but mantis shrimp

[goodfish-bowl]

You remind me of greater siren

this? I remind you of this?

honestly, sure. I didn't know these existed before this, but I vibe with it. I could probably find one if I looked in the right places.

(TW: Fish gore and internals)

Colorless, human design and some info under the cut.

So, the mer AU.

Some species of mermaids are known to haunt humans when they are hungry, other species don't. Sirens are known to sing (or scream at the sky, if you want to call it that) when a storm is coming.

Sun is inspired by flying fish, and the tongue by a sea butterfly's mouth. (because of the "wing" fins I would consider him a siren, but a lot of mythological creatures are called sirens so idk). He's clingy and an attention hoarder.

Moon is inspired by abyssal fish, lophiiformes (specifically those with antennas) and black dragon fish. He's pretty chill as long as is well fed. He purposely creeps out others with his antennas, and hates Sun's tongue thing.

And Eclipse is inspired by axolotls and leafy sea dragons. They're pretty pacific but won't hesitate in defending themselves when they can't find a way out. Their tail is strong, they can send you flying across the room.

Here is the human design (my selfinsert, Fern) + outfits and a size chart of them long boys.

In this AU Fern is a student at a marine biology university. They conserve and rescue marine life. Some of the rescued especies being the celestial trio, which were assigned under Ferns care with help from another student.

Some images of the three together in one picture that were supposed to be the header of the post but didn't decide which to chose so I'm putting here my 5 favourites. They don't quite fit well 'cuz I drew them separately.

Hi! I absolutely adore your mer todoroki design, can i ask about your design process/inspiration for it? Also the koi patterning is litterally so perfect.

Also is there lore behind this au? 👀

i am a creature of habit so i'm slowly redoing the same design since mermay 2020, haha - it's a koi fish for the pattern (because it works on both the japanese culture aspect that is very important to Todoroki as a character + the pattern of the spots that let me integrate his scars as a part of his design) BUT i put a pinch of betta fish for the fin, and a bit of axolotl for the gills around his face! yes there is lore behind the AU! i'll post some stuff

[piowasthere]

Welcome back!! You said that we are free to draw your mer! OCs (or just your OCs in general), may I have some pictures of them? I would love to make art of them!

YO!

i don't have any actual refs done (bc i hate making those and stall making them like hell)

But what yesterday i made this lil' Sunxolotl temp* ref with a bunch of artist notes (*which will prolly never be updated) so have that and admire the sunshine

and as for the other mers the best i can give u are these 2 flat vers of other pieces of them i use for color ref lol

u just gotta figure them out sorry-

i do not have any more made for others (will do them someday) so i'd just say to scroll thru my #mermer tag

all of the pieces with the mers r tagged with it there ain't that many of them, so it shouldn't take too long

but if you're feeling lazy, here's just direct links for Moon Bloodmoon(s) and Solar (tho this design is not final)

have fun with that

[emry-stars-art]

Have you ever heard the noises axolotls make? its kinda quiet blub!, when they reach the surface of the water to gulp down some air. Anyway any time i see JellyNeil my mind immediately goes to Neil just making that noise

I HAVE NOW. wow I made a reel for the first time in forever just so I could get this across properly, here you go

(I don't think they would be very practical)

Gravity Falls is finally popping off again, so naturally my obsession with it has been dragged out from deep within me and thrust to the front of my mind, so here's a collection of various au ideas i have.

Explanations below! Contains Book of Bill Spoilers!!

A different form, a different time: Due to a widescale time and space fuck up, both Bill Cipher and the Axolotl get reincarnated (temporarily?) as humans. Specifically as older teens/very young adults. Hot topic wannabe and pink gumball son of a bitch must learn to navigate the hell that is mortality and human puberty as they set out on a road trip to try and reach the only place they can think of to find answers: Gravity Falls.

Obligatory dragon au: exactly what it says on the tin.

Time Stuck... with a twist: Something goes horribly wrong with the Time tape, resulting in Mabel, Dipper, and a 12 year old Billy Cipher being sent to the 80's. Trapped in the past/future, depending on who you ask, the preteens end up on the run with a mullet-wearing grifter with a familiar face, and must learn to work together to set things right. However, having two Bills' will make things much harder than usual, especially since one absolutely adores his star-marked humans and their weird Larger Human, while the other wants nothing more than to watch them burn.

Monster Falls but they're both Unitaurs: Mabel and Dipper are twins, let them be the same monster you cowards.

Under the Falls: This is one of my older ones! Its a strange little mer! au, where a younger Stan and Ford must take in their niblings after a monster hunter slaughters the rest of their family. Baby mers cant disguise themselves, so they must stay in the nearby lake. Luckily, their cat-eyed deer friend is more than happy to keep them company, and take them on Non-Grunkle-Approved adventures.

I Grow Maddened (From Grief): In the Book of Bill, we learn that Mabel and Dipper don't make it to 13 in pretty much every other timeline. Now, Bill 100% could be bullshitting, but i like to think thats its at least partially true: Dippers and Mabels don't tend to last in the Multiverse. But what about their Grunkles? Surely there are quite a few timelines where one set of twins is left to mourn the other.

This au follows a Ford that lost his Dipper and Mabel to a dangerous creature that escaped confinement while he was distracted by his work. It managed to also near fatally wound Stanley and nearly take one of Ford's eyes before he managed to kill it, leaving him with two dead family members and his twin on the brink. Consumed by guilt and refusal to live in a world without his beloved niblings, Ford set Stanley up on cryogenic life support and managed to lie his way into more time by convincing the twin's parents that both of them would be more successful under his tutelage.

Once everything was in place, he threw himself back into the multiverse (this time with a way back) and began hopping through other timelines, looking for the perfect replacements for his missing family. Man spirals hard, eventually deciding that the twins, when he gets them back, would not be leaving his and Stanley's sides again, because his twin is also not leaving. After all, their parents clearly dont value them like they should, and Ford knows that it will be easy to remove any memory of the twins all together.

Euclid + Scalene live (and get better children): Somehow spared from the genocide of their entire dimension, the deeply wounded Cipher parents eventually find themselves inexplicably drawn to a little backwater planet. The two find themselves becoming attached to a pair of twins that seem blessed by the Axolotl itself, and although their last child had caused violence on a previously unseen scale, both Euclidians find that they want to try again. The Ciphers become mostly unseen guardians to the little Pines, content to simply watch over them and bring them sweet dreams while they struggle to hold themselves together.

Then Bill shows up, and everything goes to shit.
